In addition to what we're smoking, pictures of us smoking it, and the like, I thought it would be a nice way to further introduce ourselves to our fellow forum folks if we shared what we're generally listening to while we smoke it.

Tonight I had just a few puffs of my Altadis Black Spice paired with one of my new Jet Streams, listening to Bear McCreary's brilliant soundtrack for Battlestar Galactica. All 6 albums of it, on shuffle. I also dredged up an early Tom Waits memory that sparked this thread.

And...go!

Ray Charles for me, I have loved his music since I was a small child! Now that I am very large child, he is still one of my favorites!

Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

Huge Steely Dan fan here. Own everything they've made. Lately I've been listening to local college radio stations to get a feel for what the "younger" folk are listening to. Can't say that there are any particular new artists that strike me as being original but I'll keep trying to find them.

I'm not allowed to smoke in the house, so I can pretty much only smoke while I'm driving. I often spend all day in the jeep, driving all over VA, and I don't listen to much music anymore. I find that if there is music playing, and I'm familiar with it, my brain just sort of shuts off, and I get mild "highway hypnosis". But if I'm listening to something I've never heard before, I stay more alert. So I listen to spoken word podcasts almost exclusively while driving.

My list of podcast subscriptions is as follows:

CarStuff
Common Sense with Dan Carlin
Doug Loves Movies
Comedy Death-Ray Radio
Culturetopia
Friday Night Comedy from BBC4
Fresh Air with Terry Gross
TED Talks
Stuff you Should Know
Real Time with Bill Maher
Judge John Hodgeman
KCRW's Film Reviews
Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's Film Reviews from BBC5
NPR's 7am news
NPR's Intelligence Squared debates
NPR's Story of the Day
NPR's Sunday Puzzle
Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me
The Onion
PRI's The World Geo Quiz
Shut Up, Wierdo
The Bugle Podcast
This American Life

Most of these are short (~5 minutes), so I can churn through 20 or so in a day. Some others are a bit longer (Fresh air is usually an hour long, as are Comedy Death Ray, Wait Wait, and Kermode and Mayo's Film Reviews). Point is, I never run out of stuff to listen to, and it's always something I've never heard before.

Boston- Party ( from their second LP )

Marry the right person, this one decision will determine 90% of your happiness.

Does a culture based on seperation and competition, of scientific sophistication and mideval religion, offer happiness even as it ravishes the Earth that sustains it?

@ Fred--I've been a fan of the TED talks too, been catching up on some lately. TED and a pipe are like peanut butter & jelly--a perfect combination for sitting and ruminating.

@papipe--I love the Dan myself. Caught them in concert a few years ago at Roseland in NYC; sounded just like the albums, which was good (impressive) yet bad (I could've stayed home and listened to the album). Last big live show I saw and probably ever will see.

@unclearthur -- was that you knockin at my cellar door? hehe--that song just has a whole new meaning now that I've seen some of your stashes of tobacco on this forum!

@chero -- conway as in twitty? my mom loves him. :laughat:i love his white man's 'fro. helluva singer too!

Well the only artists I've listened to today are, thanks to last nights post; Tom Waits and a young lady who's music I just discovered a few weeks ago, Nataly Dawn.
You guys may have seen her band doing the Hyudai commercials during Christmas.

papipeguy, Steely Dan is one of my favorites. Royal Scam, Aja, and Gaucho are three of the finest records of that era. If you are looking for younger artists check out Sufjan Steven's album 'Illinois'. It's entirely different than the Dan but of the same high quality musicianship and recording craftsmanship.

Tommy, thanks for the link to Nataly Dawn. I really liked her rendition of the xmas tunes she performed in the Hyundai TV ads. And for some reason, I find myself enjoying her music -- very creative stuff.

I've been listening to Cake a lot lately. They're stuff is delightfully odd.

So much good stuff. This morning it was Vivaldi and now it's swing music from our local PBS station. Maybe some classic rock later on. Just so much good music to chose from.

Sting ,Nothing like the Sun is how my day started .

Does it sometimes seem like she's on one of those old time weight reduction machines that had the belt that went around your waist, that was supposed to vibrate the fat off of you? Little too shakey on the vibrato? just messing with ya.

With all the talk of tobacco legislation and the gloom and doom of pipe smoking I had to go listen to Scott Dunbar singing about a tin-foil hat.
This guy's got more talent than many of the best known performers today will ever have. I've got more than one of his CD's.
